Proposed Damage System Overhaul

Yep.

I renamed the slots a little, so the outermost outer hull slots are named "Starboard Edge" and such.

I'm still wondering how you can decide that the damage become directional. I (wrongly?) thought that damage was randomly (hardcoded) dealt to armor then to random Outer Hull component and then to random Inner Hull component.

Do you know something we simple mortals ignore ?

Play the demo, watch the combat. Armor damage isn't directional, but damage to the Inner and Outer hulls IS.

SJ gets around that by not giving his armor the "armor" attribute.

I've seen your post on official forums and learned that Inner and Outter hull were damage directional.

Then it becomes easy to understand.

But then it means the ship map is strategically very important.
